It's All About the Pink!

Ok... so I will admit... sometimes I can be a bit of a girl...  Nothing wrong with it... But I LOVE pink!  And when it came time for my own cake for my birthday... Pink was definitely the main colour!  And a chance for me to do more with my airbrush machine.

 

 My blank canvas.....

 

You know when something comes out EXACTLY like you had it pictured in your mind!

 

At the end of it all I couldn't just have the cake... I needed a whole desserts table where I could really go nuts!  So not only was their a pink leopard print cake, but I also made pink cupcakes covered in gold sparkles, pink cake pops... and what was probably the best dessert (since it was all gone in half an hour), egg-less cookie dough truffles... on a stick... covered in milk chocolate.

Don't worry...  those will be made again!

 

Overall though... everything turned out really well...  the table looked amazing... and I was able to really showcase what I was teaching myself.

Not just cakes...

Here are a few of the many cupcakes I have made through out the year... 

Originally this was what I enjoyed to do the most.

 The cupcakes above are chocolate mint cupcakes.  The actual cupcake was mint with chocolate pieces and the frosting was dark chocolate buttercream. 

 

 These cupcakes are probably my absolute favourite ones to make.  Pina Coloda cupcakes with a cherry on top.  The cupcakes are light and fruity, infused with pineapple and coconut flavour and then the frosting is simply whipped coconut milk with a run flavouring.  one bite and you feel like your enjoying a drink on a hot beach.

 

 Nothing like a bright red cupcake to get you into the holiday spirit.  Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and edible berries and holly to make them a bit more festive.  I absolutely enjoyed making these cupcakes but also seeing the faces on my co-workers when they walked into the room and saw these.

 

I love these chocolate butterflies.  They honestly look so realistic and just make a cupcake look so much better.  Each wing is poured and made by hand and then built on each cupcakes with chocolate buttercream. 

 

These cupcakes were just too cute to pass up making.  Coke float cupcakes!!!  The cupcake itself has Coca Cola in the mix and one of the two layers of icing has it as well.  Top it off with a vanilla buttercream frosting, a cherry and a straw just to give it that right look.  I think they looked even better than the picture.

 

I have made more cupcakes but did not take any pictures.  I promise I will take more as I go.
